When I try anything newer than LBR20-V9.2.5.2.37SF-HW the router doesn't connect to the Internet
and the Connection Status says disconnected

What kind of connection do you use? LTE? I'm writing here right now using LTE with firmware 9.2.5.2.39.1SF-HW. I don't see any reason for this problem.

Have you tried firmware 9.2.5.2.37.1SF-HW?

What does ADVANCED->CONNECTION STATUS show (screenshot please).

Saw your other post about not getting a lot of feedback from LBR20 users and just wanted to say this is the only reason we can get a decent internet connection at our cabin in the US. Thank you @Voxel!

Yeah, I'm about twenty miles from the cell tower and have full bars with the external antenna.
The main reason I went with Voxel, is that Netgear doesn't update the firmware very often, and there are quite a few vulnerabilities with routers.

Thank you for yoour posting. Important for me.

The motto of my work:

(1) Stability.
(2) Safety.
(3) Maximum acceleration of the device (let the device work, and we rest and drink beer).

We used half our monthly data allocation this week due to… I don’t know what. Is there an easy/recommended way to get more detailed usage data (per ip would be lovely) than what is offered in the Netgear UI?

Would it be possible to build QFirehose into Voxel firmware?
